Five older anime series for beginners.
*Cross posted from my sister blog.
Since I will soon be reviewing anime and manga for a popular website, I decided to do a quick post about five older series to introduce to fans of newer anime, or even those who are just looking for an introduction series.I made a point to choose each from a different genre so that comparing them to one another would be difficult.I also made sure that they were at least a decade old.I would have gone for much older series, however I just don't see a newbie watching Galaxy Express 999 without falling asleep, or Ranma 1/2 without feeling very confused.No offense to either of those mentioned.They each have merit in either artistic presentation or pure nostalgia depending on who you ask.However, what I am looking to talk about are accessible series with tangible story lines.I want to talk about relatable protagonists and villains that are recognizable as something more than a throwback from a saturday morning in the 80's.

Natasha Bedingfield Sings The Pirate Fairy Theme, Who I Am
There's no doubt that Disneytoon Studios' upcoming CG animated adventure 'The Pirate Fairy' is going to be a visual feast, but it turns out that it's also going to be one heck of an experience for the ears, especially considering that it features award-winning artist Natasha Bedingfield as the inner voice of Zarina through her songs.
"Zarina is a little offbeat and contemporary and these songs showcase her personality so well. We used one of Natasha's songs, 'Weightless,' as a temp track and fell in love with it--so much so, we decided to use it in the final film. We felt Natasha's voice so perfectly spoke to Zarina's character, we asked her to also perform our original song 'Who I Am,' which was written for 'The Pirate Fairy,'" says Peggy Holmes, director of "The Pirate Fairy.

The Beginner's Guide to Anime, No. 31
The series covered in this column has some similarities to last week's piece covering The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. It is a comedy, based on a series of light novels not translated into English. However, whereas the former is science-fiction, this series is a fantasy in the Tolkienesque, DungeonsPrincess Amelia Seyruun, a shrine-maiden whose belief in justice often leads to more problems than solutions; and Xellos Metallium, a priest whose true powers and motives are often shrouded mystery.
One of the central appeals of The Slayers series is that it is very funny comic treatment of the fantasy genre. The show often mocks the situations the characters find themselves in which themselves parody various elements of fantasy. While it is arguable that the characters are somewhat two-dimensional, the stereotypical roles they mock are handled well.
